Abstract
The restoration of large bone defects caused by trauma, tumor resection, or infection is a major clinical problem in orthopedics and dentistry because postoperative infections, corrosion, and limited osteointegration of metal implants can lead to loosening of the implant. The aim of this study was to improve the surface properties of a 3D-printed (electron beam melting) Ti6Al4V-based macroporous scaffold by multilayer coating with bioactive silicate glasses (BAGs) and hydroxyapatite doped with a silver (AgHAP) or AgHAP additionally sonochemically modified with ZnO (ZnO-AgHAP). The coated scaffolds AgHAP_BAGs_Ti and ZnO-AgHAP_BAGs_Ti enhanced cytocompatibility in L929 and MRC5 cell lines and expressed bioactivity in simulated body fluid. A lower release of vanadium ions in coated samples compared to bare Ti scaffold indicates decreased dissolution of Ti alloy in coated samples. The coated samples reduced growth ofEscherichia coliandStaphylococcus aureusfor 4-6 orders of magnitude. Therefore, the 3D-printed Ti-based scaffolds coated with BAGs and (ZnO-)AgHAP have great potential for application as a multifunctional implant with antibacterial properties for the restoration of defects in load-bearing bones.

Abstract
One of the most critical issues concerning orthopedic implants is the risk of chronic inflammation, which poses a threat to the bone healing process. Osteo-immunomodulation plays a pivotal role in implant technology by influencing proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses, ultimately promoting bone healing. This study aims to investigate the morphology-dependent osteo-immunomodulatory properties of a hydroxyapatite (HA)/plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO)-coated WE43 alloy. In this context, following the PEO process with various operational parameters (duty cycles of 50-40, 50-20, 70-40%, and frequencies of 0.5, 0.8, and 1 kHz), a layer of HA was applied as the top coating using a straightforward hot-dip process. The results revealed the formation of the PEO layer with distinct morphologies and pore sizes, depending on the operational parameters. Specifically, a uniform PEO coating with small pore sizes (5.2-5.3 μm) led to the creation of plate-like HA particles, while a random-like HA structure formed on nonuniform surfaces with large pores (7.0-11.1 μm) of PEO. Moreover, it was observed that the plate-like HA coating exhibited higher adhesion strength than the random one (classified as class 2 vs class 3 based on cross-cut standards). Furthermore, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization studies confirmed a substantial increase in the polarization resistance (680 kΩ) and total impedance (48 559.6 Ω) for the plate-like HA/PEO as compared to the substrate (an increase of 1511-fold and 311-fold, respectively) and the random HA/PEO samples (an increase of 85-fold and 18-fold, respectively). In addition, compared to random HA coatings, there was a significant enhancement in the viability (150% control vs 96% control), proliferation, and differentiation of MG63 cells when exposed to plate-like HA coatings. Moreover, surface morphology and chemistry pronouncedly impacted macrophages' viability, morphology, and phenotype. Notably, plate-like HA coatings resulted in a higher upregulation of BMP-2 and TGF-β than proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and M-CSF), indicating a polarization of macrophage type 1 (M1) toward type 2 (M2). In summary, the bilayer HA/PEO coating exhibited remarkable osteo-immunomodulatory activity, making it highly appealing for use in bone implant applications.

Abstract
The most important challenge faced in designing orthopedic devices is to control the leaching of ions from the substrate material, and to prevent biofilm formation. Accordingly, the surgical grade stainless steel (316L SS) was electrophoretically deposited with functional composition of biopolymers and bioceramics. The composite coating consisted of: Bioglass (BG), hydroxyapatite (HA), and lawsone, that were loaded into a polymeric matrix of Xanthan Dialdehyde/Chondroitin Sulfate (XDA/CS). The parameters and final composition for electrophoretic deposition were optimized through trial-and-error approach. The composite coating exhibited significant adhesion strength of "4B" (ASTM D3359) with the substrate, suitable wettability of contact angle 48°, and an optimum average surface roughness of 0.32 µm. Thus, promoting proliferation and attachment of bone-forming cells, transcription factors, and proteins. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopic analysis revealed a strong polymeric network formation between XDA and CS. scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis displayed a homogenous surface with invariable dispersion of HA and BG particles. The adhesion, hydrant behavior, and topography of said coatings was optimal to design orthopedic implant devices. The said coatings exhibited a clear inhibition zone of 21.65 mm and 21.04 mm with no bacterial growth against Staphylococcus aureus (S. Aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. Coli) respectively, confirming the antibacterial potential. Furthermore, the crystals related to calcium (Ca) and HA were seen after 28 days of submersion in simulated body fluid. The corrosion current density, of the above-mentioned coating was minimal as compared to the bare 316L SS substrate. The results infer that XDA/CS/BG/HA/lawsone based composite coating can be a candidate to design coatings for orthopedic implant devices.

Abstract
Objective To review antibacterial/osteogenesis dual-functional surface modification strategy of titanium-based implants, so as to provide reference for subsequent research. Methods The related research literature on antibacterial/osteogenesis dual-functional surface modification strategy of titanium-based implants in recent years was reviewed, and the research progress was summarized based on different kinds of antibacterial substances and osteogenic active substances. Results At present, the antibacterial/osteogenesis dual-functional surface modification strategy of titanium-based implants includes: ① Combined coating strategy of antibiotics and osteogenic active substances. It is characterized in that antibiotics can be directly released around titanium-based implants, which can improve the bioavailability of drugs and reduce systemic toxicity. ② Combined coating strategy of antimicrobial peptides and osteogenic active substances. The antibacterial peptides have a wide antibacterial spectrum, and bacteria are not easy to produce drug resistance to them. ③ Combined coating strategy of inorganic antibacterial agent and osteogenic active substances. Metal ions or metal nanoparticles antibacterial agents have broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and various antibacterial mechanisms, but their high-dose application usually has cytotoxicity, so they are often combined with substances that osteogenic activity to reduce or eliminate cytotoxicity. In addition, inorganic coatings such as silicon nitride, calcium silicate, and graphene also have good antibacterial and osteogenic properties. ④ Combined coating strategy of metal organic frameworks/osteogenic active substances. The high specific surface area and porosity of metal organic frameworks can effectively package and transport antibacterial substances and bioactive molecules. ⑤ Combined coating strategy of organic substances/osteogenic active substancecs. Quaternary ammonium compounds, polyethylene glycol, N-haloamine, and other organic compounds have good antibacterial properties, and are often combined with hydroxyapatite and other substances that osteogenic activity. Conclusion The factors that affect the antibacterial and osteogenesis properties of titanium-based implants mainly include the structure and types of antibacterial substances, the structure and types of osteogenesis substances, and the coating process. At present, there is a lack of clinical verification of various strategies for antibacterial/osteogenesis dual-functional surface modification of titanium-based implants. The optimal combination, ratio, dose-effect mechanism, and corresponding coating preparation process of antibacterial substances and bone-active substances are needed to be constantly studied and improved.

Abstract
Developing coating materials with low cytotoxicity and high antimicrobial activity has been recognized as an effective way to prevent medical device-associated infections. In this study, a maleic anhydride terpolymer (PPTM) is synthesized and covalently attached to silicone rubber (SR) surface. The formed coating can be further cross-linked (SPM) through the self-condensation of pendent siloxane groups of terpolymer. No crack or delamination of SPM was observed after 500 cycles of bending and 7 day immersion in deionized water. The sliding friction force of a catheter was reduced by 50% after coating with SPM. The SPM coating without adding any extra antibacterial reagents can kill 99.99% of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and also significantly reduce bacterial coverage, while the coating displayed no antimicrobial activity when maleic anhydride groups of SPM were aminated or hydrolyzed. The results of the repeated disinfection tests showed that the SR coated with SPM could maintain 87.3% bactericidal activity within 5 cycles. Furthermore, the SPM coating only imparted slight toxic effect (>85% viability) on L929 cells after 36 h of coculture, which is superior to the coating of aminated SPM conjugated with the antimicrobial peptide E6. The terpolymer containing maleic anhydride units have great potential as a flexible and durable coating against implant infections.

Abstract
Zn and its alloys are receiving increasing interest for biodegradable orthopedic implant applications owing to their moderate corrosion rate and the potential functionality of Zn2+. However, their non-uniform corrosion behavior and insufficient osteogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties do not meet the comprehensive requirements of orthopedic implants in clinical use. Herein, an aspirin (an acetylsalicylic acid, ASA, 10, 50, 100, and 500 mg/L)-loaded carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)/gelatin (Gel)-Zn2+ organometallic hydrogel composite coating (CMC/Gel&Zn2+/ASA) was fabricated on a Zn surface via an alternating dip-coating method, aiming to obtain a material with these comprehensive properties improved. The organometallic hydrogel composite coatings, ca. 12-16 μm in thickness, showed compact, homogeneous, and micro-bulge structured surface morphology. The coatings protected well the Zn substrate from pitting/localized corrosion and contained the release of the bioactive components, Zn2+ and ASA, in a sustained and stable manner in long-term in vitro immersions in Hank's solution. The coated Zn showed greater ability to promote proliferation and osteogenic differentiation for MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts, and better anti-inflammatory capacity when compared with uncoated Zn. Additionally, this coating displayed excellent antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli (>99 % antibacterial rate) and Staphylococcus aureus (>98 % antibacterial rate). Such appealing properties can be attributed to the compositional nature of the coating, namely the sustained release of Zn2+ and ASA, as well as the surface physiochemical properties because of its unique microstructure. This organometallic hydrogel composite coating can be considered a promising option for the surface modification of biodegradable Zn-based orthopedic implants among others.

Abstract
Metallic materials for long-term load-bearing implants still do not provide high antimicrobial activity while maintaining strong compatibility with bone cells. This study aimed to modify the surface of Ti13Nb13Zr alloy by electrophoretic deposition of a chitosan coating with a covalently attached Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide. The suspensions for coating deposition were prepared in two different ways either using hydroxyacetic acid or a carbon dioxide saturation process. The coatings were deposited using a voltage of 10 V for 1 min. The prepared coatings were examined using SEM, EDS, FTIR, and XPS techniques. In addition, the wettability of these surfaces, corrosion resistance, adhesion of the coatings to the metallic substrate, and their antimicrobial activity (E. coli, S. aureus) and cytocompatibility properties using the MTT and LDH assays were studied. The coatings produced tightly covered the metallic substrate. Spectroscopic studies confirmed that the peptide did not detach from the chitosan chain during electrophoretic deposition. All tested samples showed high corrosion resistance (corrosion current density measured in nA/cm2 ). The deposited coatings contributed to a significant increase in the antimicrobial activity of the samples against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (reduction in bacterial counts from 99% to, for CS-RGD-Acid and the S. aureus strain, total killing capacity). MTT and LDH results showed high compatibility with bone cells of the modified surfaces compared to the bare substrate (survival rates above 75% under indirect contact conditions and above 100% under direct contact conditions). However, the adhesion of the coatings was considered weak.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys are commonly used in dental implants, which have good biocompatibility, mechanical strength, processability, and corrosion resistance. However, the surface inertia of Ti implants leads to delayed integration of Ti and new bone, as well as problems such as aseptic loosening and inadequate osseointegration. Magnesium (Mg) ions can promote bone regeneration, and many studies have used Mg-containing materials to modify the Ti implant surface. This systematic review summarizes the methods, effects, and clinical applications of surface modification of Ti implants with Mg-containing coatings. Database collection was completed on Janury 1, 2023, and a total of 29 relevant studies were ultimately included. Mg can be compounded with different materials and coated to the surface of Ti implants using different methods. In vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that Mg-containing coatings promote cell adhesion and osteogenic differentiation. On the one hand, the surface roughness of implants increases with the addition of Mg-containing coatings, which is thought to have an impact on the osseointegration of the implant. On the other hand, Mg ions promote cell attachment through binding interactions between the integrin family and FAK-related signaling pathways. And Mg ions could induce osseointegration by activating PI3K, Notch, ERK/c-Fos, BMP-4-related signaling pathways and TRPM7 protein channels. Overall, Mg-based coatings show great potential for the surface modification of Ti implants to promote osseointegration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The inertia surface of titanium (Ti) implants leads to delayed osseointegration. Magnesium (Mg) ions, known for promoting bone regeneration, have been extensively studied to modify the surface of Ti implants. However, no consensus has been reached on the appropriate processing methods, surface roughness and effective concentration of Mg-containing coatings for osseointegration. This systematic review focus on the surface modification of Ti implants with Mg-containing compounds, highlighting the effects of Mg-containing coatings on the surface properties of Ti implants and its associated mechanisms. Besides, we also provide an outlook on future directions to promote the clinical application of Mg-modified implants.

Abstract
Infections associated with the surfaces of medical devices represent a critical problem due to biofilm formation and the growing resistance towards antibacterial drugs. This is particularly relevant in commonly used invasive devices such as silicone-based ones where a demand for alternative antibiofilm surfaces is increasing. In this work, an antimicrobial chitosan-biosurfactant hydrogel mesh was produced by 3D-printing. The 3D structure was designed to coat polydimethylsiloxane-based medical devices for infection prevention. Additionally, the porous 3D structure allows the incorporation of customized bioactive components. For this purpose, two biosurfactants (surfactin and sophorolipids) were biosynthesized and tested for their antimicrobial activity. In addition, the printing of surfactant-chitosan-based coatings was optimized, and the resulting 3D structures were characterized (i.e., wettability, FTIR-ATR, antimicrobial activity, and biocompatibility). Compared with surfactin, the results showed a better yield and higher antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria for sophorolipids (SLs). Thus, SLs were used to produce chitosan-based 3D-printed coatings. Overall, the SLs-impregnated coatings showed the best antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus planktonic bacteria (61 % of growth inhibition) and antibiofilm activity (2 log units reduction) when compared to control. Furthermore, concerning biocompatibility, the coatings were cytocompatible towards human dermal fibroblasts. Finally, the coating presented a mesh suitable to be filled with a model bioactive compound (i.e., hyaluronic acid), paving the way to be used for customized therapeutics.

Abstract
Osteogenesis surrounding dental implants is initiated by a series of early physiological events, including the inflammatory response. However, the persistence of an anti-infection surface often results in compromised histocompatibility and osseointegration. Here, we presented a programmed surface containing both silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and silver ions (Ag+) with a heterogeneous structure and time-dependent functionalities. The AgNPs were located at the surface of the heparin-chitosan polyelectrolyte coating (PEM), whereas Ag+ was distributed at both the surface and inside of the coating under optimized conditions (pH=4). The optimized coating (Ag-4) exhibited potent bactericidal activity at the early stage (12 and 24 h after inoculation) and a sustained antibacterial efficacy in the subsequent stage (one or two weeks), as it gradually depleted. Furthermore, compared to coatings with sustained high silver concentrations in bacteria-cell coculture experiments, the degradable Ag-4 coating demonstrated improved cytocompatibility, better cell viability, and morphology over time. At a later stage (within one month), the in vivo test revealed that Ag-4-coated titanium had superior histocompatibility and osteogenesis outcomes compared to bare titanium in a bacteria-exposed environment. The programmed surface of dental implants presented in this study offers innovative ideas for sequential antibacterial effects and osseointegration.

Abstract
Infection is a major complication associated with orthopedic implants. It often involves the development of biofilms on metal substrates, which act as barriers to the host's immune system and systemic antibiotic treatment. The current standard of treatment is revision surgery, often involving the delivery of antibiotics through incorporation into bone cements. However, these materials exhibit sub-optimal antibiotic release kinetics and revision surgeries have drawbacks of high cost and recovery time. Herein, a new approach is presented using induction heating of a metal substrate, combined with an antibiotic-loaded poly(ester amide) coating undergoing a glass transition just above physiological temperature to enable thermally triggered antibiotic release. At normal physiological temperature, the coating provides a rifampicin depot for >100 days, while heating of the coating accelerates drug release, with >20% release over a 1-h induction heating cycle. Induction heating or antibiotic-loaded coating alone each reduce Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) viability and biofilm formation on Ti, but the combination causes synergistic killing of S. aureus as measured by crystal violet staining, determination of bacterial viability (>99.9% reduction), and fluorescence microscopy of bacteria on surfaces. Overall, these materials provide a promising platform enabling externally triggered antibiotic release to prevent and/or treat bacterial colonization of implants.

Abstract
Nitinol (NiTi shape-memory alloy) is an interesting candidate in various medical applications like dental, orthopedic, and cardiovascular devices, owing to its unique mechanical behaviors and proper biocompatibility. The aim of this work is the local controlled delivery of a cardiovascular drug, heparin, loaded onto nitinol treated by electrochemical anodizing and chitosan coating. In this regard, the structure, wettability, drug release kinetics, and cell cytocompatibility of the specimens were analyzed in vitro. The two-stage anodizing process successfully developed a regular nanoporous layer of Ni-Ti-O on nitinol, which considerably decreased the sessile water contact angle and induced hydrophilicity. The application of the chitosan coatings controlled the release of heparin mainly by a diffusional mechanism, where the drug release mechanisms were evaluated by the Higuchi, first-order, zero-order, and Korsmeyer-Pepass models. Human umbilical cord endothelial cells (HUVECs) viability assay also showed the non-cytotoxicity of the samples, so that the best performance was found for the chitosan-coated samples. It is concluded that the designed drug delivery systems are promising for cardiovascular, particularly stent applications.

Abstract
Biocompatible and bio-active coatings can enhance and accelerate osseointegration via chemical binding onto substrates. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) has been shown as a precursor to achieve mineralization in vertebrates and invertebrates under the control of biological macromolecules. This work presents a simple bioinspired Gelatin-CaPO4 (Gel-CaP) composite coating on titanium surfaces to improve osseointegration. The covalently bound Gel-CaP composite is characterized as an ACP-Gel compound via SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and HR-TEM. The amorphous compound coating exhibits a nanometer range thickness and improved elastic modulus, good wettability, and nanometric roughness. The amount of grafted carboxyl groups and theoretical thickness of the coatings are also investigated. More importantly, MC3T3 cells, an osteoblast cell line, show excellent cell proliferation and adhesion on the Gel-CaP coating. The level of osteogenic genes is considerably upregulated on Ti with Gel-CaP coatings compared to uncoated Ti, demonstrating that Gel-CaP coatings possess a unique osteogenic ability. To conclude, this work offers a new perspective on functional, bioactive titanium coatings, and Gel-CaP composites can be a low-cost and promising candidate in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Recruitment of endothelial cells to cardiovascular device surfaces could solve issues of thrombosis, neointimal hyperplasia, and restenosis. Since current targeting strategies are often nonspecific, new technologies to allow for site-specific cell localization and capture in vivo are needed. The development of cytocompatible superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles has allowed for the use of magnetism for cell targeting. In this study, a magnetic polyurethane (PU)-2205 stainless steel (2205-SS) nanofibrous composite biomaterial was developed through analysis of composite sheets and application to stent-grafts. The PU nanofibers provide strength and elasticity while the 2205-SS microparticles provide ferromagnetic properties. Sheets were electrospun at mass ratios of 0-4:1 (2205-SS:PU) and stent-grafts with magnetic or nonmagnetic stents were coated at the optimal ratio of 2:1. These composite materials were characterized by microscopy, mechanical testing, a sessile drop test, magnetic field measurement, magnetic cell capture assays, and cytocompatibility after 14 days of culturing with endothelial cells. Results of this study show that an optimal ratio of 2:1 2205-SS:PU results in a hydrophobic material that balanced mechanical and magnetic properties and was cytocompatible up to 14 days. Significant cell capture required a thicker material of 0.5 mm thickness. Stent-grafts fabricated from a magnetic coating and a magnetic stent demonstrated uniform cell capture throughout the device surface. This novel biomaterial exhibits a combination of mechanical and magnetic properties that enables magnetic capture of cells and other therapeutic agents for vascular and other tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is gaining popularity in the biomedical field due to its excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance and biocompatibility. Although PEEK is an excellent biomaterial, it may require bulk surface modification to tailor its properties for specific biomedical applications. In this study, the surface modification of PEEK was achieved by depositing titanium dioxide (TiO2) by PVD method. The microstructure and mechanical properties of TiO2 coatings were studied by SEM/EDS and nanoindentation tests. Conventional scratch tests were performed to determine the adhesion and tribological properties of the TiO2 films. An in vitro study was performed in simulated body fluids to evaluate the osteocompatibility of TiO2 coated PEEK. According to the results The TiO2 coating has a dense microstructure and good adhesion, the critical cohesive load Lc1 is greater than 1N. The TiO2 film improved the mechanical properties of the PEEK substrate: hardness and elastic modulus increased from ∼0.33 to ∼4.03 GPa to ∼3.6 and ∼21.85 GPa, respectively. In addition, compared with the PEEK substrate, the coating showed a 61% improvement in wear resistance and a reduction in the coefficient of friction from 0.38 to 0.09. The results also showed that the TiO2 coating induces the formation of hydroxyapatite on the surface, which promotes the osteocompatibility of PEEK.

Abstract
In this work, to improve antibacterial, biocompatible and bioactive properties of commercial pure titanium (cp-Ti) for implant applications, the Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces were fabricated on cp-Ti by using combined anodic oxidation (AO) and physical vapor deposition (PVD-TE) methods. Homogenous elemental distributions were observed through all surfaces. Moreover, Zn-deposited surfaces exhibited hydrophobic character while bare Ti surfaces were hydrophilic. Due to the biodegradable behavior of Zn on the nanotube surface, Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces showed higher corrosion current density than bare cp-Ti surface in SBF conditions as expected. In vitro biological properties such as cell viability, ALP activity, protein adsorption, hemolytic activity and antibacterial activity for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria of all surfaces were investigated in detail. Cell viability, ALP activity and antibacterial properties of Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces were significantly improved with respect to bare cp-Ti. Moreover, hemolytic activity and protein adsorption of Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces were decreased. According to these results; a bioactive, biocompatible and antibacterial Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces produced on cp-Ti by using combined AO and PVD techniques can have potential for orthopedic and dental implant applications.

Abstract
Surgical meshes composed of bioinert polymers such as polypropylene are widely used in millions of hernia repair procedures to prevent the recurrence of organ protrusion from the damaged abdominal wall. However, post-operative mesh infection remains a significant complication, elevating hernia recurrence risks from 3.6% to 10%, depending on the procedure type. While attempts have been made to mitigate these infection-related complications by using antibiotic coatings, the rise in antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains threatens their effectiveness. Bioactive glass-ceramics featuring noble metals, notably silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), have recently gained traction for their wide antibacterial properties and biocompatibility. Yet, conventional methods of synthesizing and coating of such materials often require high temperatures, thus making them impractical to be implemented on temperature-sensitive polymeric substrates. To circumvent this challenge, a unique approach has been explored to deposit these functional compounds onto temperature-sensitive polypropylene mesh (PP-M) surfaces. This approach is based on the recent advancements in cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) assisted deposition of SiO2 thin films and laser surface treatment (LST), enabling the selective heating and formation of functional glass-ceramic compounds under atmospheric conditions. A systematic study was conducted to identify optimal LST conditions that resulted in the effective formation of a bioactive glass-ceramic structure without significantly altering the chemical and mechanical properties of the underlying PP-M (less than 1% change compared to the original properties). The developed coating with optimized processing conditions demonstrated high biocompatibility and persistent antibacterial properties (>7 days) against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The developed process is expected to provide a new stepping stone towards depositing a wide range of functional bioceramic coatings onto different implant surfaces, thereby decreasing their risk of infection and associated complications.

Abstract
The major drawbacks of metal-based implants are weak osseointegration and post-operational infections. These limitations restrict the long-term use of implants that may cause severe tissue damage and replacement of the implant. Recent strategies to enhance the osseointegration process require an elaborate fabrication process and suffer from post-operative complications. To address the current challenges taking inspiration from the extracellular matrix (ECM), the current study is designed to establish enhanced osseointegration with lowered risk of infection. Natural biopolymer pectin, peptide amphiphiles, and enzyme-mimicking fullerene moieties are governed to present an ECM-like environment around the implant surfaces. This multifunctional approach promotes osseointegration via inducing biomineralization and osteoblast differentiation. Application of the biopolymer-based composite to the metal surfaces significantly enhances cellular attachment, supports the mineral deposition, and upregulates osteoblast-specific gene expression. In addition to the osteoinductive properties of the constructed layers, the inherent antimicrobial properties of multilayer coating are also used to prevent infection possibility. The reported biopolymer-artificial enzyme composite demonstrates antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis as a multifunctional surface coating.

Abstract
Natural fibers are available as an essential substitute for synthetic fiber in many applications. However, the sensitivity of Chinese Windmill Palm or Trachycarpus Fortune Fiber (TFF) to water causes low interfacial bonding between the matrix and the fiber and at the end reduces the mechanical properties of the composite product. Alkaline treatment improves mechanical properties and does not affect water absorption. Hence, additional treatment in the coating is required. This study uses alkaline treatment and coating modification using blended chitosan and Acrylated Epoxidized Soybean Oil (AESO). Blend coating between AESO and chitosan is performed to increase water absorption and mechanical properties. TFF water resistance improved significantly after the coating, with water absorption of the alkaline/blend coating-TFF of 3.98 % ± 0.52 and swell ability of 3.156 % ± 0.17. This indicated that blend coating had formed a cross-link of fiber and matrix after alkalization. Thus, the single fiber tensile strength increased due to the alkaline treatment, and water absorption decreased due to the coating. The combination of alkaline treatment and blend coating on TFF brings excellent properties, as shown by the increase in tensile strength in both single fiber test and composite.

Abstract
A unique feature of nanoparticles for bio-application is the ease of achieving multi-functionality through covalent and non-covalent functionalization. In this way, multiple therapeutic actions, including chemical, photothermal and photodynamic activity, can be combined with different bio-imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance, photoacoustic, and fluorescence imaging, in a theragnostic approach. In this context, melanin-related nanomaterials possess unique features since they are intrinsically biocompatible and, due to their optical and electronic properties, are themselves very efficient photothermal agents, efficient antioxidants, and photoacoustic contrast agents. Moreover, these materials present a unique versatility of functionalization, which makes them ideal for the design of multifunctional platforms for nanomedicine integrating new functions such as drug delivery and controlled release, gene therapy, or contrast ability in magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging. In this review, the most relevant and recent examples of melanin-based multi-functionalized nanosystems are discussed, highlighting the different methods of functionalization and, in particular, distinguishing pre-functionalization and post-functionalization. In the meantime, the properties of melanin coatings employable for the functionalization of a variety of material substrates are also briefly introduced, especially in order to explain the origin of the versatility of melanin functionalization. In the final part, the most relevant critical issues related to melanin functionalization that may arise during the design of multifunctional melanin-like nanoplatforms for nanomedicine and bio-application are listed and discussed.

Abstract
The rapid degradation of magnesium (Mg) alloy implants erodes mechanical performance and interfacial bioactivity, thereby limiting their clinical utility. Surface modification is among the solutions to improve corrosion resistance and bioefficacy of Mg alloys. Novel composite coatings that incorporate nanostructures create new opportunities for their expanded use. Particle size dominance and impermeability may increase corrosion resistance and thereby prolong implant service time. Nanoparticles with specific biological effects may be released into the peri-implant microenvironment during the degradation of coatings to promote healing. Composite nanocoatings provide nanoscale surfaces to promote cell adhesion and proliferation. Nanoparticles may activate cellular signaling pathways, while those with porous or core-shell structures may carry antibacterial or immunomodulatory drugs. Composite nanocoatings may promote vascular reendothelialization and osteogenesis, attenuate inflammation, and inhibit bacterial growth, thus increasing their applicability in complex clinical microenvironments such as those of atherosclerosis and open fractures. This review combines the physicochemical properties and biological efficiency of Mg-based alloy biomedical implants to summarize the advantages of composite nanocoatings, analyzes their mechanisms of action, and proposes design and construction strategies, with the purpose of providing a reference for promoting the clinical application of Mg alloy implants and to further the design of nanocoatings.

Abstract
Microbial growth on surfaces poses health concerns and can accelerate the biodegradation of engineered materials and coatings. Cyclic peptides are promising agents to combat biofouling because they are more resistant to enzymatic degradation than their linear counterparts. They can also be designed to interact with extracellular targets and intracellular targets and/or self-assemble into transmembrane pores. Here, we determine the antimicrobial efficacy of two pore-forming cyclic peptides, α-K3W3 and β-K3W3, against bacterial and fungal liquid cultures and their capacity to inhibit biofilm formation on coated surfaces. These peptides display identical sequences, but the additional methylene group in the peptide backbone of β-amino acids results in a larger diameter and an enhancement in the dipole moment. In liquid cultures, β-K3W3 exhibited lower minimum inhibitory concentration values and greater microbicidal power in reducing the number of colony forming units (CFUs) when exposed to a gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, and two fungal strains, Naganishia albida and Papiliotrema laurentii. To evaluate the efficacy against the formation of fungal biofilms on painted surfaces, cyclic peptides were incorporated into polyester-based thermoplastic polyurethane. The formation of N. albida and P. laurentii microcolonies (105 per inoculation) for cells extracted from coatings containing either peptide could not be detected after a 7-day exposure. Moreover, very few CFUs (∼5) formed after 35 days of repeated depositions of freshly cultured P. laurentii every 7 days. In contrast, the number of CFUs for cells extracted from the coating without cyclic peptides was >8 log CFU.

Abstract
It is imperative to investigate the effect of addition of different size metallic ions in HAp and study the changes in biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Silver and magnesium ions are two vital ions needed in our body. Silver ions are known to inhibit the microbes, while magnesium ions are known to increase the mechanical properties. The present study reports the comparative properties of MgHAp and AgHAp synthesised by sol-gel wet chemical method. Changes in the morphology, phase analysis, corrosion resistance, dielectric properties, hardness and the thrombus behaviour of HAp doped Ag and Mg ions has been investigated. In this work, we have presented a comparative study of both the metal doped ionsto find which of the ions and which weight percent of the ions can be best suited to be incorporated into the HAp matrix for hard tissue implants. All wt% AgHAp showed the better corrosion resistance than all the MgHAp samples. However, MgHAp showed higher value of hardness in comparison to AgHAp samples. The mechanical strength was found to increase with the increase in Mg wt% in MgHAp but for AgHAp the hardness value decreased with increase in the concentration. The impedance and dielectric loss decreased with increasing frequency for both the samples. Both the ion doped hydroxyapatite showed moderate clotting behaviour as compared to pure HAp. But 2 wt% MgHAp and 4 wt% AgHAp showed better thrombogenic behaviour.

Abstract
Dental implants have become a routine, affordable, and highly reliable technology to replace tooth loss. In this regard, titanium and its alloys are the metals of choice for the manufacture of dental implants because they are chemically inert and biocompatible. However, for special cohorts of patients, there is still a need for improvements, specifically to increase the ability of implants to integrate into the bone and gum tissues and to prevent bacterial infections that can subsequently lead to peri-implantitis and implant failures. Therefore, titanium implants require sophisticated approaches to improve their postoperative healing and long-term stability. Such treatments range from sandblasting to calcium phosphate coating, fluoride application, ultraviolet irradiation, and anodization to increase the bioactivity of the surface. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) has gained popularity as a method for modifying metal surfaces and delivering the desired mechanical and chemical properties. The outcome of PEO treatment depends on the electrochemical parameters and composition of the bath electrolyte. In this study, we investigated how complexing agents affect the PEO surfaces and found that nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) can be used to develop efficient PEO protocols. The PEO surfaces generated with NTA in combination with sources of calcium and phosphorus were shown to increase the corrosion resistance of the titanium substrate. They also support cell proliferation and reduce bacterial colonization and, hence, lead to a reduction in failed implants and repeated surgeries. Moreover, NTA is an ecologically favorable chelating agent. These features are necessary for the biomedical industry to be able to contribute to the sustainability of the public healthcare system. Therefore, NTA is proposed to be used as a component of the PEO bath electrolyte to obtain bioactive surface layers with properties desired for next-generation dental implants.

Abstract
Foreign body response (FBR), inflammation, and fibrotic encapsulation of neural implants remain major problems affecting the impedance of the electrode-tissue interface and altering the device performance. Adhesion of proteins and cells (e.g., pro-inflammatory macrophages, and fibroblasts) triggers the FBR cascade and can be diminished by applying antifouling coatings onto the implanted devices. In this paper, we report the deposition and characterization of a thin (±6 nm) sulfobetaine-based coating onto microfabricated platinum electrodes and cochlear implant (CI) electrode arrays. We found that this coating has stable cell and protein-repellent properties, for at least 31 days in vitro, not affected by electrical stimulation protocols. Additionally, its effect on the electrochemical properties relevant to stimulation (i.e., impedance, charge injection capacity) was negligible. When applied to clinical CI electrode arrays, the film was successful at inhibiting fibroblast adhesion on both the silicone packaging and the platinum/iridium electrodes. In vitro, in fibroblast cultures, coated CI electrode arrays maintained impedance values up to five times lower compared to non-coated devices. Our studies demonstrate that such thin sulfobetaine containing layers are stable and prevent protein and cell adhesion in vitro and are compatible for use on CI electrode arrays. Future in vivo studies should be conducted to investigate its ability to mitigate biofouling, fibrosis, and the resulting impedance changes upon long-term implantation in vivo.

Abstract
Varying degrees of hydroxyapatite (HA) surface functionalization have been implicated as the primary driver of differential osteogenesis observed in infiltrating cells. The ability to reliably create spatially controlled areas of mineralization in composite engineered tissues is of growing interest in the field, and the use of HA-functionalized biomaterials may provide a robust solution to this challenge. In this study, we successfully fabricated polycaprolactone salt-leached scaffolds with two levels of a biomimetic calcium phosphate coating to examine their effects on MSC osteogenesis. Longer duration coating in simulated body fluid (SBF) led to increased HA crystal nucleation within scaffold interiors as well as more robust HA crystal formation on scaffold surfaces. Ultimately, the increased surface stiffness of scaffolds coated in SBF for 7 days in comparison to scaffolds coated in SBF for 1 day led to more robust osteogenesis of MSCs in vitro without the assistance of osteogenic signaling molecules. This study also demonstrated that the use of SBF-based HA coatings can promote higher levels of osteogenesis in vivo. Finally, when incorporated as the endplate region of a larger tissue-engineered intervertebral disc replacement, HA coating did not induce mineralization in or promote cell migration out of neighboring biomaterials. Overall, these results verified tunable biomimetic HA coatings as a promising biomaterial modification to promote discrete regions of mineralization within composite engineered tissues.

Abstract
Biodegradable stent coatings have shown great potential in terms of delivering drugs to a damaged vessel wall, and their release profiles are key elements governing the overall performance of drug-eluting stents (DESs). However, release and degradation kinetics are usually not tested under simulated physiological conditions or in dynamic environments, both essential aspects in the design of novel DESs. To bridge this gap, fused silica-based microfluidic systems, with either round or square channel cross-sections, were designed to mimic the microenvironment of a stented vessel. In particular, we fabricated and characterized microfluidic chips based on customizable channels, which were spray-coated with a naturally-derived, rutin-loaded zein solution, to perform a comprehensive study under flow conditions. Dynamic assays after 6 hours showed how the degradation of the zein matrix was affected by the cross-sectional conformation (∼69% vs. ∼61%, square and round channel, respectively) and the simulated blood fluid components (∼55%, round channel with a more viscous solution). The released amount of rutin was ∼81% vs. ∼77% and ∼78% vs. ∼74% from the square and round channels, using the less and more viscous blood-simulated fluids, respectively. Fitting the drug release data to Korsmeyer-Peppas and first-order mathematical models provided further insight into the mechanism of rutin release and coating behavior under flowing conditions. More importantly, whole blood tests with our newly developed microfluidic platforms confirmed the hemocompatibility of our zein-based coating. In detail, in-flow and static studies on the blood cell behavior showed a significant reduction of platelet adhesion (∼73%) and activation (∼93%) compared to the stainless-steel substrate, confirming the benefits of using such naturally-derived coatings to avoid clogging. Overall, our microfluidic designs can provide a key practical tool for assessing polymer degradation and drug release from degradable matrices under flowing conditions, thus aiding future studies on the development of hemocompatible, controlled-release coatings for DESs.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (Ca-P) surface coating is a simple but effective way to enhance both corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of ZK60 magnesium alloy. However, cell compatibility on different Ca-P layers coated on ZK60 alloy has seldom been investigated. In this study, the effects of type, morphology and corrosion protection of several Ca-P coatings formed at pH 6.5, 7.8 and 10.2 on cell behavior were examined by using an osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1. Furthermore,in vivobehavior in rabbits of the alloy coated with the optimum Ca-P layer was also studied. It was found that the surface factors governed the cell morphology and density. The coating morphology plays a dominant role in these surface factors. The sample coated at pH 7.8 showed the best cellular biocompatibility, suggesting that the hydroxyapatite (HAp) layer formed at pH 7.8 was the optimum coating. In rabbits, this optimum coating enhanced remarkably the corrosion resistance of the alloy. During implantation, the outermost crystals of the HAp coating were shortened and thinned due to the dissolution of HAp caused by the body fluid of the rabbits. It is indicated that ZK60 alloy coated at pH 7.8 can be applied as a biodegradable implant.

Abstract
In industrialized countries, health care associated infections, the fourth leading cause of disease, are a major health issue. At least half of all cases of nosocomial infections are associated with medical devices. Antibacterial coatings arise as an important approach to restrict the nosocomial infection rate without side effects and the development of antibiotic resistance. Beside nosocomial infections, clot formation affects cardiovascular medical devices and central venous catheters implants. In order to reduce and prevent such infection, we develop a plasma-assisted process for the deposition of nanostructured functional coatings on flat substrates and mini catheters. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are synthesized exploiting in-flight plasma-droplet reactions and are embedded in an organic coating deposited through hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) plasma assisted polymerization. Coating stability upon liquid immersion and ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization is assessed through chemical and morphological analysis carried out by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In the perspective of future clinical application, an in vitro analysis of anti-biofilm effect has been done. Moreover, we employed a murine model of catheter-associated infection which further highlighted the performance of Ag nanostructured films in counteract biofilm formation. The anti-clot performances coupled by haemo- and cytocompatibility assays have also been performed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This in vivo study, aimed to biomechanically, histomorphometrically and histologically evaluate an implant surface coated with nanostructured hydroxyapatite using the wet chemical process (biomimetic deposition of calcium phosphate coating) when compared to a dual acid-etching surface. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten sheep (2-4 years old) received 20 implants, 10 with nanostructured hydroxyapatite coating (HAnano), and 10 with dual acid-etching surface (DAA). The surfaces were characterized with scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy; insertion torque values and resonance frequency analysis were measured to evaluate the primary stability of the implants. Bone-implant contact (BIC) and bone area fraction occupancy (BAFo) were evaluated 14 and 28 days after implant installation. RESULTS The HAnano and DAA groups showed no significant difference in insertion torque and resonance frequency analysis. The BIC and BAFo values increased significantly (p<0.05) over the experimental periods in both groups. This event was also observed in BIC value of HAnano group. The HAnano surface showed superior results compared to DAA after 28 days (BAFo, p = 0.007; BIC, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION The results suggest that the HAnano surface favors bone formation when compared to the DAA surface after 28 days in low-density bone in sheep.

Abstract
When creating titanium-containing bone implants, the bioactive coatings that promote their rapid engraftment are important. The engraftment rate of titanium implants with bone tissue depends significantly on the modification of the implant surface. It is achieved by changing either the relief or the chemical composition of the surface layer, as well as a combination of these two factors. In this work, we studied the creation of composite coatings with a two-level (the micro- and nanolevel) hierarchy of the surface relief, which have bioactive and bactericidal properties, which are promising for bone implantation. Using the developed non-lithographic template electrochemical synthesis, a composite coating on titanium with a controlled surface structure was created based on an island-type TiO2 film, silver and hydroxyapatite (HAp). This TiO2/Ag/HAp composite coating has a developed surface relief at the micro- and nanolevels and has a significant cytological response and the ability to accelerate osteosynthesis, and also has an antibacterial effect. Thus, the developed biomaterial is suitable for production of dental and orthopedic implants with improved biomedical properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recently, stainless steel (SSL) miniscrew implants have been used in orthodontic clinics as temporary anchorage devices. Although they have excellent physical properties, their biocompatibility is relatively poor. Previously, our group developed a two-phase biomimetic calcium phosphate (BioCaP) coating that can significantly improve the biocompatibility of medical devices. This study aimed to improve the biocompatibility of SSL by coating SSL surface with the BioCaP coating. METHODS Titanium (Ti) discs and SSL discs (diameter: 5 mm, thickness: 1 mm) were used in this study. To form an amorphous layer, the Ti discs were immersed in a biomimetic modified Tyrode solution (BMT) for 24 h. The SSL discs were immersed in the same solution for 0 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h. To form a crystalline layer, the discs were then immersed in a supersaturated calcium phosphate solution (CPS) for 48 h. The surface properties of the BioCaP coatings were analysed. In addition, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was incorporated into the crystalline layer during biomimetic mineralisation as a model protein. RESULTS The morphology, chemical composition and drug loading capacity of the BioCaP coating on smooth SSL were confirmed. This coating improved roughness and wettability of SSL surface. In vitro, with the extension of BMT coating period, the cell seeding efficiency, cell spreading area and cell proliferation on the BioCaP coating were increased. SIGNIFICANCE These in vitro results show that the BioCaP coating can improve surface properties of smooth medical grade SSL and serve as a carrier system for bioactive agents.

Abstract
Shape memory alloys, especially ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, are interesting new materials for the manufacturing of stents. Iron-palladium alloys in particular can be used to manufacture self-expanding temporary stents due to their optimum rate of degradation, which is between that of magnesium and pure iron, two metals commonly used in temporary stent research. In order to avoid blood clotting upon the introduction of the stent, they are often coated with anticoagulants. In this study, sulfated pectin, a heparin mimetic, was synthesized in different ways and used as coating on multiple iron-palladium alloys. The static and dynamic prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of the prepared materials were compared to samples uncoated or coated with polyethylene glycol. While no large differences were observed in the prothrombin time measurements, the activated partial thromboplastin time increased significantly with all alloys coated with sulfated pectin. Aside from that, sulfated pectin synthesized by different methods also caused slight changes in the activated partial thromboplastin time. These findings show that iron-palladium alloys can be coated with anticoagulants to improve their utility as material for temporary stents. Sulfated pectin was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and the coated alloys by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX).

Abstract
Apatite coatings with high stability can effectively improve the surface bioactivity and osteogenic activity of implant materials. In clinical practice, the ability of apatite coatings to bond with the substrate is critical to the effect of implants. Here, we propose a strategy to construct a three-dimensional (3D) nanoporous structure on the surface of a poly(phthalazinone ether nitrile ketone) (PPENK) substrate and introduce a polydopamine (PDA) coating with grafted phosphonate groups to enhance the overall deposition of a bone-like apatite coating in the 3D nanoporous structure during mineralization. This method leads to a mechanical interlocking between the apatite coating and the substrate, which increases the stability of the apatite coating. The apatite coating confers a better bioactive surface to PPENK and also promotes osteogenic differentiation and adhesion of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts in vitro. The samples are then implanted into rat femurs to characterize in vivo osseointegration. Micro-CT data and histological staining of tissue sections reveal that PPENK with a stable apatite coating induces less fibrous capsule formation and no inflammatory response and promotes osteogenic differentiation and bone-bonding strength. This enhances the long-term use of PPENK implant materials and shows great potential for clinical application as orthopedic implants.

Abstract
Mg-based biomaterials are commonly used as biodegradable orthopedic implants (e.g., bone regeneration applications). However, achieving high biocompatibility and corrosion resistance has remained a challenge to be tackled. In this work, to investigate various fabricated coatings (with and without pre- anodizing), five categories of samples are considered: (a) bare Mg alloy (Mg), (b) Anodized Mg alloy (Mg-A), (c) CS-coated Mg alloy (Mg-C), (d) CS-coated anodized Mg alloy (Mg-AC), and (e) CS-CNT-coated anodized Mg alloy (Mg-ACC). These samples were characterized by using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopes (FE-SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Raman Spectroscopy. The adhesion within the coated samples was compared. Then, the effects of the coatings were evaluated by comparing wettability, corrosion behavior, and biocompatibility for bare and coated samples. The adhesion test showed that the coatings exhibited higher adhesion for Mg-AC and Mg-ACC compared to Mg-C. Desired wettability was achieved as the contact angles of coated samples were in the range of 55°- 65°. Electrochemical impedance and polarization as well as immersion tests showed higher corrosion resistance for coated samples. The composite coated sample showed improved cell adhesion since the osteoblast cells covered almost the entire surface of the sample. Moreover, osteoblast cell viability for the sample was around 40% higher than that of the bare sample.

Abstract
PURPOSE Titanium and its alloys are widely used as biomaterials for long-term implants, but they are usually surface-modified due to their weak bioactivity and wear resistance. Laser processing was used to modify the surface layer, and elemental carbon was a component of the deposited coatings. This research aims to use a combination of both methods based on preliminary electrophoretic deposition of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNCTs) followed by pulse laser treatment. Carbon nanotubes were chosen due to their mechanical and chemical stability as well as their tubular shape, resulting in enhanced mechanical properties of laser-modified layers. METHODS The pulse laser power and laser scanning speed were defined as variable process parameters. The microstructure, roughness Ra, nanohardness H, Young's modulus E, and indent depth values were measured, and the H/E, H 3/E2, and relative changes of all these values in comparison to MWCNTs-coated and non-coated surfaces, were calculated. RESULTS The obtained results show that the best mechanical properties of MWCNTs-coated and laser-treated specimens are obtained at a laser power of 900 W and laser feed of 6 mm/s. The observed relations can be explained considering processes occurring on the surface such as deposition of carbon nanotubes, melting and re-crystallization of the surface layer, formation and possible partial decomposition of titanium carbides, and associated changes in local chemical composition, phase composition, and a level of residual stresses beneath the surface. CONCLUSIONS The developed process can substitute the time and money-consuming carbonization of titanium and its alloys.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnesium (Mg) enhances the bone regeneration, mineralization and attachment at the tissue/biomaterial interface. OBJECTIVE In this study, the effect of Mg on mineralization/osseointegration was determined using (Ti,Mg)N thin film coated Ti6Al4V based plates and screws in vivo. METHODS TiN and (Ti,Mg)N coated Ti6Al4V plates and screws were prepared using arc-PVD technique and used to fix rabbit femur fractures for 6 weeks. Then, mineralization/osseointegration was assessed by surface analysis including cell attachment, mineralization, and hydroxyapatite deposition on concave and convex sides of the plates along with the attachment between the screw and the bone. RESULTS According to Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analyses; cell attachment and mineralization were higher on the concave sides of the plates from both groups in comparison to the convex sides. However, mineralization was significantly higher on Mg-containing ones. The mean gray value indicating mineralized area after von Kossa staining was found as 0.48 ± 0.01 and 0.41 ± 0.04 on Mg containing and free ones respectively. Similarly, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that hydroxyapatite growth was abundant on the Mg-containing and concave sides of the plates. Enhanced mineralization and strong attachment to bone were also detected in EDS and SEM analyses of Mg-containing screws. CONCLUSION These findings indicated that (Ti,Mg)N coatings can be used to increase attachment at the implant tissue interface due to accelerated mineralization, cell attachment, and hydroxyapatite growth.

Abstract
This work aims to improve the corrosion protection features of poly(phenylene methylene) (PPM) by sidechain engineering inserting methoxy units along the polymer backbone. The influence of side methoxy groups at different concentrations (4.6% mol/mol and 9% mol/mol) on the final polymer properties was investigated by structural and thermal characterization of the resulting copolymers: co-PPM 4.6% and co-PPM 9%, respectively. Then, coatings were processed by hot pressing the polymers powder on aluminum alloy AA2024 and corrosion protection properties were evaluated exposing samples to a 3.5% w/v NaCl aqueous solution. Anodic polarization tests evidenced the enhanced corrosion protection ability (i.e., lower current density) by increasing the percentage of the co-monomer. Coatings made with co-PPM 9% showed the best protection performance with respect to both PPM blend and PPM co-polymers reported so far. Electrochemical response of aluminum alloy coated with co-PPM 9% was monitored over time under two "artificially-aged" conditions, that are: (i) a pristine coating subjected to potentiostatic anodic polarization cycles, and (ii) an artificially damaged coating at resting condition. The first scenario points to accelerating the corrosion process, the second one models damage of the coating potentially occurring either due to natural deterioration or due to any accidental scratching of the polymer layer. In both cases, an intrinsic self-healing phenomenon was indirectly argued by the time evolution of the impedance and of the current density of the coated systems. The degree of restoring to the "factory conditions" by co-polymer coatings after self-healing events is eventually discussed.

Abstract
Nanocrystalline calcium phosphate (CP) bioceramic coatings and their combination with biopolymers are innovative types of resorbable coatings for load-bearing implants that can promote the integration of metallic implants into human bodies. The nanocrystalline, amorphous CP particles are an advantageous form of the various calcium phosphate phases since they have a faster dissolution rate than that of crystalline hydroxyapatite. Owing to the biomineral additions (Mg, Zn, Sr) in optimized concentrations, the base CP particles became more similar to the mineral phase in human bones (dCP). The effect of biomineral addition into the CaP phases was thoroughly studied. The results showed that the shape, morphology, and amorphous characteristic slightly changed in the case of biomineral addition in low concentrations. The optimized dCP particles were then incorporated into a chosen polycaprolactone (PCL) biopolymer matrix. Very thin, non-continuous, rough layers were formed on the surface of implant substrates via the spin coating method. The SEM elemental mapping proved the perfect incorporation and distribution of dCP particles into the polymer matrix. The bioresorption rate of thin films was followed by corrosion measurements over a long period of time. The corrosion results indicated a faster dissolution rate for the dCP-PCL composite compared to the dCP and CP powder layers.

Abstract
The drugs most commonly used in the treatment of osteoporosis are bisphosphonates. This disease results in low mineral density and a weakened bone microstructure. The delivery methods for these drugs have many disadvantages, and new ones are being searched for. In this work, biocompatible zinc titanate coated titanium implants were obtained as potential new carriers for drugs. Such a material will release the drug, and it will have antibacterial properties. Gradual release of the bisphosphonate will have a positive effect on the recovery process and osteointegration. In addition, the drug will be released around the affected bones. The effectiveness of the modification and attachment of the drug was confirmed by SEM, XPS, EDS, FT-IR imaging, and UV-VIS. It was shown that the risedronate could be almost completely released upon contact with body fluids within a week. The drug is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the alloy as confirmed by FT-IR imaging. The results presented in this work will allow for the preparation of endoprostheses that release the drug and have antibacterial properties.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a major complication associated with bioimplant materials, including titanium (Ti) based orthopedic joints and dental implants. Thus, the fabrication of Ti surfaces with antibacterial activity is highly important. Black phosphorus (BP) is a recently discovered promising two-dimensional semiconductor for various biomedical applications due to its tunable bandgap and physicochemical properties. The present study aimed to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) laden BP nanohybrids (NH) and their coatings on a Ti bioimplant surface for improving the antibacterial activities against pathogenic bacteria with and without near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. Nanohybrids were produced with the slightly oxidized BP NF and electrostatically laden ZnO NP. The produced BP-ZnO NH was a NIR active nanomaterial (up to ∼1000 nm), demonstrating a photothermal effect against bacterial infection and showing improved activity by damaging the cell membrane towards S. aureus in comparison to E. coli. Ti surface coated with BP-ZnO NH embedded chitosan (CS) demonstrated better antibacterial activity than BP NF, especially with NIR light treatment. Additionally, the produced BP nanoflakes and BP-ZnO NH, and their coatings over the Ti surface were found to be toxic at a negligible level. Electrochemical studies revealed the high corrosion resistance of the Ti surface coated with the synthesized antibacterial agents without altering its characteristic passive behavior. Owing to the interactions between the charged groups between chitosan and cell surfaces, a slight increase in antibacterial activities was noticed. Chitosan-based coating matrix embedded with nanoagents has adhered well over the Ti surface due to its inherent film-forming and high adhesion properties.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys exhibit an excellent prospect for orthopedic clinical application due to their outstanding biodegradability and mechanical adaptability. However, the rapid corrosion rate/latent device-associated infections may lead to a failed internal fixation of Mg-based implants. Herein, a novel composite coating consisted of outer copper-doped zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 and inner hydroxyapatite (Cu@ZIF-8/HA) was in situ constructed on AZ31B Mg alloy via a two-step approach of hydrothermal treatment and seeded solvothermal method. The results verified that the electrochemical impedance of the obtained Cu45@ZIF-8/HA composite coating increased by two orders of magnitude to 6.6013 × 104 Ω·cm2 compared to that of bare Mg alloy. This was attributed to the reduced particle size of ZIF-8 nanoparticles due to the doped copper ions, which could be effectively grown in situ on the micro-nano flower-like structure of the HA-coated Mg alloy. Meanwhile, the Cu@ZIF-8/HA coating exhibited excellent antibacterial properties due to the release of copper ions and zinc ions from Cu@ZIF-8 dissolved in bacterial culture solution. The ICP results unraveled that the released concentration of copper and zinc ions could enhance the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the appropriate range during MC3T3-E1 cell culture in vitro for 7 days. This research revealed that the preparation of multifunctional metal-organic frameworks coating doped with antimicrobial metal ions via the seed layer solvothermal method was significant for studying the antimicrobial properties, osteogenic performance and corrosion resistance of Mg-based bioactive coatings.

Abstract
Biomaterial-associated infections are one of the major causes of implant failure. These infections result from persistent bacteria that have adhered to the biomaterial surface before, during, or after surgery and have formed a biofilm on the implant's surface. It is estimated that 4 to 10% of implant surfaces are contaminated with bacteria; however, the infection rate can be as high as 30% in intensive care units in developed countries and as high as 45% in developing countries. To date, there is no clinical solution to prevent implant infection without relying on the use of high doses of antibiotics supplied systemically and/or removal of the infected device. In this study, melimine, a chimeric cationic peptide that has been tested in Phase I and II human clinical trials, was immobilized onto the surface of 3D-printed medical-grade polycaprolactone (mPCL) scaffolds via covalent binding and adsorption. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) spectra of melimine-treated surfaces confirmed immobilization of the peptide, as well as its homogeneous distribution throughout the scaffold surface. Amino acid analysis showed that melimine covalent and noncovalent immobilization resulted in a peptide density of ∼156 and ∼533 ng/cm2, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the immobilization of melimine on mPCL scaffolds by 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) coupling and noncovalent interactions resulted in a reduction of Staphylococcus aureus colonization by 78.7% and 76.0%, respectively, in comparison with the nonmodified control specimens. Particularly, the modified surfaces maintained their antibacterial properties for 3 days, which resulted in the inhibition of biofilm formation in vitro. This system offers a biomaterial strategy to effectively prevent biofilm-related infections on implant surfaces without relying on the use of prophylactic antibiotic treatment.

Abstract
Polycrystalline diamond has the potential to improve the osseointegration of orthopedic implants compared to conventional materials such as titanium. However, despite the excellent biocompatibility and superior mechanical properties, the major challenge of using diamond for implants, such as those used for hip arthroplasty, is the limitation of microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques to synthesize diamond on complex-shaped objects. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate diamond growth on titanium acetabular shells using the surface wave plasma CVD method. Polycrystalline diamond coatings were synthesized at low temperatures (∼400 °C) on three types of acetabular shells with different surface structures and porosities. We achieved the growth of diamond on highly porous surfaces designed to mimic the structure of the trabecular bone and improve osseointegration. Biocompatibility was investigated on nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) and ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) coatings terminated either with hydrogen or oxygen. To understand the role of diamond surface topology and chemistry in the attachment and proliferation of mammalian cells, we investigated the adsorption of extracellular matrix proteins and monitored the metabolic activity of fibroblasts, osteoblasts, and bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The interaction of bovine serum albumin and type I collagen with the diamond surfaces was investigated by confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). We found that the proliferation of osteogenic cells was better on hydrogen-terminated UNCD than on the oxygen-terminated counterpart. These findings correlated with the behavior of collagen on diamond substrates observed by FLIM. Hydrogen-terminated UNCD provided better adhesion and proliferation of osteogenic cells, compared to titanium, while the growth of fibroblasts was poorest on hydrogen-terminated NCD and MSCs behaved similarly on all tested surfaces. These results open new opportunities for application of diamond coatings on orthopedic implants to further improve bone fixation and osseointegration.

Abstract
Considerable implant materials are prone to cause a severe inflammatory reaction due to poor histocompatibility, which leads to various complications and implant failure. Surface coating modification of these implant materials is one of the most important techniques to settle this problem. However, fabricating a coating with both adequate adhesiveness and excellent biocompatibility remains a challenge. Inspired by the adhesion mechanism of mussels, a series of mussel-inspired polyurethanes (PU-LDAs) were synthysized through a step growth polymerization based on hexamethylene diisocyanate as a hard segment, polytetra-methylene-ether-glycol as a soft segment, lysine-dopamine (LDA) and butanediol as chain extenders with different mole ratios.The coatings of PU-LDAs were applied to various substrates, such as stainless steel, glass and PP using a facile one-step coating process. The introduction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) groups can greatly improve the adhesion ability of the coatings to the substrates demonstrated by a 180° peel test. The peel strength of the PU-LDA100 coating containing high LDA content was 76.3, 48.5 and 67.5 N/m, which was 106.2%, 246.4% and 192.2% higher than that of the PU-LDA00 coating without LDA on the surface of stainless steel, glass and PP, respectively. Meanwhile, this PU coating has a lower immune inflammatory response which provides a universal method for surface modification of implant materials. Moreover, the DOPA groups in PU-LDAs could combine with the amino and thiol groups on cell membrane surface, leading to the improvement of cell adhesion and growth. Therefore, it has great potential application in the field of biomedical implant materials for the clinic.

Abstract
The high aspect ratio and unique thermal and electrical characteristics of carbon nanofiber (CNF) made it an ideal physical barrier against the penetration of corrosive ions. However, the poor compatibility of the CNF with the polymer matrix and the lack of active corrosion inhibitors are the key limitations of this nanomaterial, resulting in short-term anti-corrosion resistance. An intelligent self-healing epoxy (EP) coating, including CNF modified with a polydopamine (PDA)-La3+ complex, was successfully fabricated to overcome these issues. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) evaluation implied that mild steel (MS) submerged in a 3.5 wt % NaCl solution containing the CNF-PDA-La extract had a total corrosion resistance (RT) of 3107 Ω cm2 after 24 h, which is much greater than the MS immersed in the blank solution (1378 Ω cm2). Furthermore, the potentiodynamic polarization analysis indicated a 50% reduction in the corrosion rate (CR) of the MS soaked in the solution containing released PDA and La3+ inhibitors compared to the blank solution. EIS and salt spray analysis were used to assess the self-healing capabilities of epoxy coatings incorporating modified CNFs. EIS assessment of scratched coatings revealed a 117% improvement in RT of the CNF-PDA-La/EP coating compared to the Blank/EP after 10 h of immersion in the saline solution. This enhancement is due to the intelligent release of PDA and La3+ inhibitors at the scratch sites, which can mitigate MS corrosion by forming a PDA-Fe complex and the deposition of La(OH)3 on the MS surface. The salt spray test results also exhibited the CNF-PDA-La/EP coating's superior anti-corrosion capabilities after 20 days. Hence, this research presents a logical approach for developing anti-corrosion coatings with improved nanofiller compatibility and self-healing characteristics.

Abstract
Chitosan coatings have shown good bioactive properties such as antibacterial and antiplatelet properties, especially on blood-contacted biomedical materials. However, as blood-contacted biomedical device, the intravascular metal stent has a burden with adverse effects on the structural integrity, such as mechanical load during implantation and substrate degradation if a biodegradable metal is used as the substrate. It is unquestionably true that the structural integrity of the coated stent is essential. The adhesion strength between the coating and the substrate positively affects it. Silane and polydopamine (PDA) interstitial layers have been investigated to improve the corrosion resistance, biosafety and adhesion strength. This work addressed this challenge by using PDA as an intermediate and glutaraldehyde as a linking agent to establish a strong link between the polymer coating and the intermediate coating. Compared with PDA-only and glutaraldehyde-linked silane layer, the novel coating displayed a notable increase in adhesion. When compared with the bare Ni-free stainless steel, the performance of the novel coating was not significantly different. This novel chitosan film on the glutaraldehyde linked-PDA interface can be applied to various metallic substrates where synergic bioactive and anticorrosive effects of PDA interstitial coating and chitosan are needed.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and implant loosening are the most common complications after joint replacement surgery. Due to their increased surface area, additively manufactured porous metallic implants provide optimal osseointegration but they are also highly susceptible to bacterial colonization. Antibacterial surface coatings of porous metals that do not inhibit osseointegration are therefore highly desirable. The potential of silver coatings on arthroplasty implants to inhibit PJI has been demonstrated, but the optimal silver content and release kinetics have not yet been defined. A tight control over the silver deposition coatings can help overcome bacterial infections while reducing cytotoxicity to human cells. In this regard, porous titanium sputtered with silver and titanium nitride with increasing silver contents enabled controlling the antibacterial effect against common PJI pathogens while maintaining the metabolic activity of human primary cells. Electron beam melting additively manufactured titanium alloys, coated with increasing silver contents, were physico-chemically characterized and investigated for effects against common PJI pathogens. Silver contents from 7 at % to 18 at % of silver were effective in reducing bacterial growth and biofilm formation. Staphylococcus epidermidis was more susceptible to silver ions than Staphylococcus aureus. Importantly, all silver-coated titanium scaffolds supported primary human osteoblasts proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization up to 28 days. A slight reduction of cell metabolic activity was observed at earlier time points, but no detrimental effects were found at the end of the culture period. Silver release from the silver-coated scaffolds also had no measurable effects on primary osteoblast gene expression since similar expression of genes related to osteogenesis was observed regardless the presence of silver. The investigated silver-coated porous titanium scaffolds may thus enhance osseointegration while reducing the risk of biofilm formation by the most common clinically encountered pathogens.

Abstract
In recent years significant progress has been made in the application of various ceramic, namely Metal nitride (MeN) functional coatings to engineer the surfaces of medical implants utilising metal-on-metal (MoM) articulation. This article reports on the load bearing capacity and structural response of TiN/NbN superlattice coatings deposited on medical grade CoCrMo alloy substrate under the application of localised load and the subsequent crack formation mechanism. The coatings have been deposited by mixed High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering-Unbalanced Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS-UBM) process. In the case of TiN/NbN coating deposited on CoCrMo substrate where Ecoating/Esubstrate is as high as 1.81 indicating that the substrate does not provide the necessary load bearing support for the brittle thin film, the utilisation of the Berkovich indentation technique proved to be a potent approach to study coating material as well as structural response to applied concentrated load. FIB/SEM analyses of the indented coatings revealed that in the hard-on-soft material systems cracks will initiate due to sub-coating substrate deformation and then propagate towards the coating surface. The FIB/SEM and low magnification XTEM analysis showed that an exceptionally strong TiN/NbN coating substrate adhesion bonding was achieved due to the utilisation of the HIPIMS pre-treatment. High resolution XTEM analyses revealed, for the first time, that during the indentation a collective rotation and alignment of the individual layers of the superlattice stack takes place without compromising coatings integrity which is clear evidence for the exeptionally high coating fracture toughness. The high toughness of the superlattice structured TiN/NbN coatings combined with their exceptionally high adhesion on madical grade CoCrMo ranks them as a strong candidate for medical implant applications.

Abstract
The work demonstrates the effective utilization of hybrid Polyurethane - palladium doped zirconium oxide (Pd-ZrO2) as innovative carriers for corrosion protection coatings on steel materials. ZrO2 and Pd-ZrO2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using Photodeposition followed by the hydrothermal synthesis method. The synthesized nanoparticles were then incorporated into the polyurethane matrix and characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The FTIR and SEM confirm the presence of ZrO2 and Pd-ZrO2 nanoparticles and their morphologies in polyurethane composites material. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results indicated that the polyurethane matrix remained stable up to 250 °C. At 800 °C, >50% of residues are observed for Pd-ZrO2 - polyurethane in the TGA analysis, which confirms that the primer and nanoparticles addition enhances the thermal stability of the composite. The water contact angle measurement explains the hydrophobic behavior of nanocomposite modified coatings on a mild steel substrate. It indicates that Pd-ZrO2 and primer significantly increase the hydrophobicity of polyurethane. The major advantages of developing water-repellent or hydrophobic surfaces open up a world of possibilities for metals and alloys in terms of corrosion prevention. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and a salt spray test were used to determine the anti-corrosion behavior of the prepared polymer nanocomposites. The polymer nanocomposite coatings have better anti-corrosive capabilities when compared to pure polyurethane. The corrosion protection efficiency increased from 76.63% to 97.57% upon incorporating 2 wt % of Pd-ZrO2 in the polyurethane matrix. The results confirmed that the modifications on the polyurethane enhanced the hydrophobicity and anti-corrosion properties of the polymer nanocomposite coatings.
